Refrain: Let’s go fly a kite Up to the highest height Let’s go fly a kite And send it soaring Up through the atmosphere Up where the air is clear Oh, let’s go fly a kite

Oh, oh, oh, oh It must have been cold there in my shadow To never have sunlight on your face You were content to let me shine, that’s your way You always walked a step behind So I was the one with all the glory While you were the one with all the strength A beautiful face without a name for so long A beautiful smile to hide the pain Did you ever know that you’re my hero? And everything I would like to be I can fly higher than an eagle For you are the wind beneath my wings It might have appeared to go unnoticed But I’ve got it all here in my heart I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you’re my hero? You’re everything I wish I could be I could fly higher than an eagle For you are the wind beneath my wings Did I ever tell you, you’re my hero? You’re everything, everything I wish I could be Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle For you are the wind beneath my wings ‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings Oh, the wind beneath my wings You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings Fly, fly, so high against the sky So high I almost touch the sky Thank you, thank you Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

Lyrics Source: Holy Bible, King James Version The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Lyrics Source: https://divinehymns.org/lyrics/lord-of-the-dance-song-lyrics I Danced In The Morning When The World Was Begun, And I Danced In The Moon And The Stars And The Sun, And I Came Down From Heaven And I Danced On The Earth, At Bethlehem I Had My Birth. Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be; I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He. And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be, And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.
I Danced For The Scribe And The Pharisee, But They Would Not Dance And They Would Not Follow Me; I Danced For The Fishermen, For James And John; They Came To Me And The Dance Went On. Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be; I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He. And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be, And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.
I Danced On The Sabbath When I Cured The Lame, The Holy People Said It Was A Shame; They Whipped And They Stripped And They Hung Me High; And They Left Me There On A Cross To Die. Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be; I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He. And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be, And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.
I Danced On A Friday And The Sky Turned Black; It’s Hard To Dance With The Devil On Your Back; They Buried My Body And They Thought I’d Gone, But I Am The Dance And I Still Go On. Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be; I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He. And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be, And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.
They Cut Me Down And I Leapt Up High, I Am The Life That’ll Never, Never Die; I’ll Live In You If You’ll Live In Me; I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He Dance, Then, Wherever You May Be; I Am The Lord Of The Dance, Said He. And I’ll Lead You All Wherever You May Be, And I’ll Lead You All In The Dance, Said He.
A dream is a wish your heart makes When you’re fast asleep In dreams you lose your heartaches Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday Your rainbow will come smiling through No matter how your heart is grieving If you keep on believing The dream that you wish will come true

My Faith Looks Up To Thee by Ray Palmer. Lyre Harp arrangement by Sharon Brownell. Played by Lyre Harp novice Christine Kerxhalli on a 19 string diatonic Lyre
My faith looks up to thee, thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine! Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away; O let me from this day be wholly thine.
May thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire; as thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee pure, warm and changeless be, a living fire.
While life’s dark maze I tread, and griefs around me spread, be thou my guide; bid darkness turn to day; wipe sorrow’s tears away, nor let me ever stray from thee aside.
When ends life’s transient dream, when death’s cold sullen stream shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul.
